Would you like to help another parent understand the IEP process?
Calling all IEP veterans!
Sooner SUCCESS and Supporting the Pieces will be co-sponsoring a training at the Integris Bass Hospital on October 25th from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The training is provided by the Oklahoma Parents Center (OPC) and is designed to train Community IEP Partners. IEP Partners can be either parents or professionals who are interested in offering support to parents who are new to the special education process or simply struggling to find their place in the IEP process.
Trained Community IEP Partners are matched with parents who would like support at their child's IEP meeting and the goal is to have trained partners in every community in Oklahoma. The partner receives ongoing training and support from OPC and a $25 stipend for each meeting they attend.
The role of the partner is to help the parent prepare for the meeting and then take notes and act as a trained listener during the meeting as someone who is familiar with special education rules and regulations. Partners are trained to model positive parent/professional partnership and collaboration.
Interested individuals can register for the training by contacting
Theresa Sharp at 977-7479 or Lisa Simmons at 603-1580.
